The Ace series from OnePlus is just a step under the flagship number series devices and the Ace 3 Pro narrowed the gap with the OnePlus 12 more than any previous model in the series. It features a slightly smaller curved 6.78-inch 8T LTPO OLED with FHD+ resolution and a 1-120Hz refresh rate and up to 4,500 nits peak local brightness.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset is carried over and you can configure the Ace 3 Pro with up to 24 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. The cameras are identical to the regular Ace 3/OnePlus 12R with a 24mm 50MP main shooter with F/1.8 aperture and OIS, an 8MP ultrawide lens (16mm), and a 2MP macro cam.
One area where Ace 3 Pro holds the advantage over its flagship sibling is in the battery department. Ace 3 Pro is the first device to feature OnePlus’ new Glacier Battery tech which brings a more energy-dense cell with a 6,100 mAh capacity.
OnePlus is also bringing an updated passive cooling system with a 9126mm² VC heat dissipation area which claims 36% improved cooling compared to the outgoing OnePlus Ace 2 Pro and 70% improved thermal conductivity.
OnePlus also guarantees that the battery will retain 80% of its original capacity after 4 years of usage and it supports 100W SuperVOOC S wired charging which can top up from 0 – 100% in 36 minutes. The phone also holds an IP65 rating, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity.
OnePlus Ace 3 Pro comes in Porcelain White, Green Field and Titanium Silver colors. Pricing starts at CNY 3,199 ($440) for the 12/256GB trim and tops out at CNY 4,399 ($605) for the 24GB RAM and 1TB storage version. Open sales in China start on July 3.
